Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Protector® XL™ Floor-Mounted
(Walk-In) Laboratory Fume Hood. Your Protector Laboratory Floor-Mount Fume
Hood is designed to protect the laboratory scientist who must transport equipment
and products for experimentation and testing under a laboratory hood. It is the
result of Labconco’s more than 60 years of experience in manufacturing fume
hoods, and users like you suggested many of its features to us. The Vertical Floor-
Mounted Hood is rated high performance low flow at 60 fpm and the Horizontal
Floor-Mounted Hood is listed at 80 fpm.
The Labconco Protector XL Floor-Mounted Fume Hood has been engineered to
provide maximum visibility in a laboratory, and effectively contain toxic, noxious,
or other harmful materials when properly installed. The Protector XL offers many
unique features to enhance safety, performance, and visibility. To take full
advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual and keep it handy for
future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how floor-mount fume hoods operate,
please review Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions before
you begin working in the fume hood. Even if you are an experienced fume hood
user, please review Chapter 5: Using Your Protector XL, which describes your
Protector Floor-Mounted Hood’s features so that you can use the hood efficiently.
